Lin Xiaoguo looked touched when she saw Xiaobao bringing the culprit to her.

"Mom, look! Xiaobao took it out on me!"

Wang Cuijuan was a little surprised, but still gave Xiaobao a thumbs up in cooperation.

"Xiaobao, you are very powerful!"

Xiaobao licked his paws, his eyes were lazy, and he naturally accepted everyone's compliments.

"Look at how arrogant you are."

Lin Tian complained about it.

Lin Guoming and Lin Tian worked together to fish Lin Xiaoguo's car out of the smelly pool.

"It stinks. I'm going to give Lin Xiaoguo a bath. His dad, please wash Xiaoguo's car. Xiaotian, please park the car."

After this little episode, they had no intention of playing anymore. Wang Cuijuan took Lin Xiaoguo to take a bath, and Lin Guoming followed behind him dragging his bicycle.

Lin Tian was about to move the car when he heard Xiaobao meow at him, as if he had something to say to Lin Tian.

"Eat that mouse, it will be a delicious meal."

"Snapped!"

Xiaobao looked at the dead mouse with disdain, then slapped it away into the grass with one paw. It was so violent that Lin Tian was speechless.

"Grumpy cat! If you don't eat, you won't eat. What's the point of swatting him away! You're used to eating good food, but now you can't even look down on mice?"

Xiaobao gave a proud "meow", then nodded slightly and pointed forward with his paw, as if he wanted to tell Lin Tian something else.

Lin Tian slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

"Are you going to lead the way for me?"

Xiaobao gave a firm "meow".

Lin Tian was very happy, Xiaobao would probably take him to find wild medicinal materials again.

Thinking of the benefits brought by that ginseng, he quickly followed Xiaobao's pace, and Xiaobao led him towards the depths of the grass.

As he walked, Lin Tian became a little puzzled.

Xiaobao was not taking the road up the mountain. Could it be that the medicinal materials were deep in the grass at the foot of the mountain?

Lin Tian came to a deserted place with doubts. There were some wood and broken walls scattered on the ground in front of him.

This is an old house in Linjia Village. Decades ago, due to the low-lying terrain, the mud houses were unable to withstand wind and rain, and they began to collapse one after another.

No one has been here for a long time, and it is overgrown with weeds, tall grass, and waist-high grass everywhere.

Lin Tian hesitated and walked into the grass. It was stuffy, humid and hot inside.

He looked around warily and muttered something softly.

"There won't be any snakes, right?"

Lin Tian remembered that when he was a child, his grandparents still lived in this area, and he came here to look for them. He occasionally heard the sound of snakes crawling in the grass, and saw snakes several times in the firewood pile.

I don't know why, but he has a psychological fear of snakes.

His soliloquy received no response from Xiaobao, who took cat steps and firmly led him deeper into the grass.

As he walked, Lin Tian noticed a lot of weeds hanging on his pants, but he ignored them.

The grass is a common weed in rural areas. After it blooms, it is covered with small thorn balls. When people and animals pass by, they will be stained by the small thorn balls and carry them with them to sow seeds everywhere.

Fortunately, Lin Tian was wearing long pants today, otherwise his skin would have been bruised with blood.

Xiaobao finally stopped and called "meow" in the direction ahead.

"It's right here, right?"

After the last experience, Lin Tian roughly understood Xiaobao's body language.

Xiaobao didn't respond to him, but he didn't leave.

Lin Tian knew it was nearby. He walked to Xiaobao, pushed aside the tall grass, and looked in that direction.

There, he saw a few rotten logs piled haphazardly in one place, which were old beams.

Lin Tian picked up a small branch in the grass and gently knocked on the pile of wood.

Usually in this kind of rotten wood, there will be some centipedes, termites and other insects, or snakes and the like hiding inside.

Lin Tian knocked on it, also wanting to check if there were any of those things inside.

Xiaobao looked at his cautious actions with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

After knocking wood chips all over the floor, Lin Tian didn't see anything appear.

He glanced at Xiaobao and asked, "Are you sure there is something good here?"

Xiaobao gave a firm "meow".

Lintian received the answer and walked around these rotten trees and observed.

On the shady side, he found some black fungus growing on the rotten wood. There seemed to be a lot of them.

"You took me so far to pick black fungus?"

Lin Tian spread his hands, stared at Xiaobao and asked.

Xiaobao grinned, as if he was laughing at Lin Tian. He stretched out his paw and pointed at the other end of the rotten wood, and said "meow".

Lin Tian nodded and said, "I believe in your vision."

He walked toward the other end of the rotten wood, and when he saw what was there, his eyes suddenly widened.

It was a Ganoderma lucidum, about the size of the palm of your hand, in the shape of a chicken's crown, with a black center and a circle of brown on the edges. It looked smooth and shiny, very beautiful.

"Ganoderma lucidum! Xiaobao, you are really good at searching. I can find good things for you in such a remote place."

Lin Tian squatted down in surprise and stretched out his hand to pick the Ganoderma lucidum.

Almost at the same time, a figure suddenly appeared in the rotten wood, shooting out from the darkness and rushing towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's reaction was quick enough, he quickly retracted his hand and took a few steps back.

"snake!"

Although he is now very skilled, he is born with a deep fear of animals like snakes. When he sees a snake, his conditioned reflex is to run away.

Lin Tian's pupils dilated, and his mind went blank when he looked at the snake in front of him.

It was a snake with a white square pattern on its back. It was thicker than Lin Tian's arm. It spit out a letter, raised its head, and stared at Lin Tian.

Its long tail tightly wraps around the roots of Ganoderma lucidum, declaring its sovereignty, as if attacking the forest and fields at any time.

"Seven-stepped snake!"

Lin Tian quickly recognized the type of snake.

This kind of seven-step snake is a venomous snake. Once a person is bitten by it, the poison will kill him if he takes only seven steps, so it is named seven-step snake.

He shuddered. People had made up various false stories about the horror of this poisonous snake. Lin Tian had heard about it since he was a child and had a serious psychological shadow.

"Xiaobao, save me."

Lin Tian looked at his hands and saw that there was nothing that could be used as a weapon. A small branch was no match for a big python, so he had to ask Xiaobao for help.

Xiaobao glanced at Lin Tian with contempt in his eyes.

Lin Tian's eyes twitched. Was he despised by a cat just now?

Seeing that the Seven-Step Snake was about to charge towards Lintian, Xiaobao's body suddenly moved, and he jumped towards the Seven-step Snake like an arrow.

When it came to the Seven-step Snake, it showed its sharp claws, flashed, and clawed hard at the Seven-step Snake.

The seven-step snake was caught off guard and was caught by Xiaobao. Three long and thin blood marks were immediately left on the snake's body. The skin and flesh were opened and blood seeped out.

The snake was in pain, flicked its tail fiercely, and targeted Xiaobao. The snake raised its head high and launched an attack.
